Carried out in the province of Tunceli since 2016, the ‘Tunceli Iron Age and Hellenistic Survey’ project is aimed at the discovery of new sites and acquisition of new data of mostly known archaeological remains that have not yet been researched thoroughly. During the final observation and documentation of the survey project’s 2021 season, two new archaeological sites were identified in the Tunceli region. The new archaeological sites in question are Masumu-Pak Fortress, which has traces of the Iron Age and the Middle Ages, and the Uzunçayır Necropolis, which should be dated to the Late Iron Age-Early Hellenistic Period. In addition, certain previously undescribed characteristics of the Gelin Odaları Necropolis, Aşağı Doluca, Rabat and Sağman Fortress settlements will be discussed in this paper. The article also includes an observation of medieval spolia artifacts used in traditional house building in the village of Til near Pertek.

This study aims to evaluate Anbar Fortress and its multi-roomed rock-cut tomb, located in the Tunceli region. It is a place rarely mentioned in archaeological literature. For the first time the plan of the rock-cut tomb of Anbar is presented here and accordingly the fortress’ place in the Urartian administration system is evaluated. In addition, material culture residues from the site, such as wall foundations, mortared walls, rock steps, cisterns/storage spaces and a rock chapel were analysed and their connection to the tomb is explained. Traces of two different periods are detected in Anbar Fortress. While the wall foundations, multi-roomed rock-cut tomb, and a part of the rock steps can be associated with the Urartian period, the mortared walls, towers, rock steps, cisterns/storage spaces and rock chapel that is located in the southwest of the fortress is dated to the Medieval period.
